The market leader hit the ground running in New Jersey at the end of April and has not looked back.

The excellent Payback pay-per-view was a pleasant surprise but Money In The Bank at the weekend surpassed all expectations, if not predictions.

Forgive FT for crowing but we called Randy Orton in black and white here last week.

Summerslam in August now seems to have more vim and vigour than in recent memory, with two prospective bouts confirmed fresh out of the traps – a very good move.

Plastered in letters 10 feet high across the side of the marquee is Brock Lesnar and CM Punk engaging in hostilities at last.

Simmering beautifully under the machinations of the genius Paul Heyman, this client-on-client ruckus should be one for the ages.

Heyman really showed his hand on RAW during the week and cemented himself as the stand-out performer of the last 12 months in world wrestling.

Close on the rail is one Daniel Bryan, but we shall return to him.

Punk and Lesnar have never wrestled on PPV, so the match is one of those rare moments in the WWE Universe where something has that dash of innovation, that elusive freshness to captivate the world audience of every persuasion.

People who despise WWE will likely make time for this match.

“Stay out of my life!” bawled Heyman at the prostrate Chicagoan with an unhinged hysteria before thanking Lesnar for leaving his former client lying. The fact that the feud is catharsis for Heyman, leaving him central to the storyline at all times, is key.

Lesnar can play the monster heel and do his master’s bidding while Heyman orchestrates, living vicariously through every beating, every F-5 finisher through the furniture.

“People who despise WWE will likely make time for this match.”

FT feels at the end of it all Punk may just get that rub, having done the business for Taker however.

The crowd reaction to Daniel Bryan must have had John Cena quivering in his sneakers as the diminutive beard bounced up and down under his grille. Not through fear, but through anticipation.

This could very well be the greatest match of Cena’s career, to surpass the two masterpieces with Shawn Michaels or the encounter with Punk nearly two years ago.

Daniels has the sublime mat skills to allow Cena to shine, but it won’t be oneway traffic.

The bout is a great opportunity for the champion to showcase his wares.

What WWE have done very well is lay their hat firmly in the middle of the ring and give themselves the maximum time to build and capitalise on two vital matches.

It’s an excellent start to the summer. All we can do now is speculate and salivate.

Honourable mention should also go to Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio for some fantastic work.

Their match on Sunday night was immense, a cauldron of intensity until the daft finish.

AJ Lee has a lot to offer, but that was the wrong place and the wrong time to try to achieve it.

FT is looking forward to a summer to remember.
